A user reported that when visiting a blog housed at "WordPress.com", the Plugin isn't detecting that the blog should be covered by the tracked "Terms of Service" policy.

For example, the blog:

http://everythingneat.wordpress.com/

Should trigger the Plugin to display the same "Terms of Service" policy when visiting:

http://www.wordpress.com/

The same issue arises when visiting the WordPress policy site itself:

http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

This page should also display the same TOS.

    This is a known issue/improvement, and is actually a missing feature. We are matching 100% on domain name, no wildcards. My suggestion for the next iteration of the plugin is to have directories named ".domain.ext" like ".wordpress.com" that would match against any domain ending with wordpress.com.

    possible solutions:
    1) list all subdomains with symbolic links in directory
    2) wildcard domain listing
